i'm anything but trusting
can't help but feel disgusting
my heart is on the table
and my head is still discussing
the conditions of my exit
i still don't know what's next yet
do i rip my chest wide open
or do i try to heal my mindset?

i don't like to get too close
that's the thing i hate the most
when they reach so far to listen
just to see that i'm a ghost
i regret the things i say
they're not worth the aching pain
sabotage all my connections
so they can't feel my burning shame

ripping my tongue through my cheek
just to taste blood on my teeth
hate spending time by the water
but i'm there most every week
i try to neglect the murmers
though they're only getting sterner
ignore the breathlessness i feel
when all they ask of me is murder
